Ah- what a strange curse.

[thebutcherbird]

I truly agree
It seems to serve no purpose
Beyond frustration

[youdeservedit]

It seems most curses end up this way. Perhaps only to serve as frustration.

[thebutcherbird]

Well then I suppose
The best defiance need only
Less frustrated minds

[kitschempress]

Though it may be inconvenient, I must say your poetry is very nice.

[thebutcherbird]

Oh you flatter me
I think I'm doing poorly
So I'll thank the curse

[aibyoukaonigiri]

I always thought it was difficult, even being Japanese.

[thebutcherbird]

I've been called upon
At banquets to recite them
But never composed

[aibyoukaonigiri]

You mean...you do something similar to this on a regular basis? Then...are you a performer?

[thebutcherbird]

This humble Mozu
Is a geisha apprentice
In Yokohama

Haiku...?

[thebutcherbird]

Yes a haiku
Perhaps your mother told you
Of them once before

But thinking of it
I'm not sure how popular
Haiku remains

[sapanwood]

We studied them a little at school, and we even had to write one. But to talk in haiku must be difficult.

Do you have to count all the syllables?

[thebutcherbird]

That is the strange thing
I'm not even thinking it
But it comes out right
